Switch Configuration
This appendix describes how to use the switch CLI to configure the Cisco Nexus
FCoE switch port as a virtual Fibre Channel port. This configuration enables
communication between the Fibre Channel and FCoE devices attached to the
switch.
Configuring the Cisco Nexus FCoE switch involves the following steps:
1. Enable the FCoE function on the switch.
2. Create and configure the VLAN.
3. Configure the physical Ethernet interface switch port.
4. Create and configure a virtual Fibre Channel port.
5. Verify that the Converged Network Adapter is logged into the switch.
The steps and commands presented in this appendix may vary depending on your
switch model and the firmware version installed on the switch. For detailed
information about configuring the switch, refer to the Cisco Nexus switch
configuration guide.
This configuration procedure assumes that:
The QLogic 8100 Series Adapter is connected to Cisco Nexus switch port
1/19.
You have administrator authority on a workstation that is capable of running
the Cisco Nexus switch CLI.
The correct license (N5010SS or N5020SS) is installed on the switch.
